The former Miss Universe shared Renee's birthday pictures from the Maldives where they indulged in scuba diving. The pictures from the ocean look breathtakingly beautiful. Sen shared a video of herself with the birthday girl and wrote: "Once we learn to swim, we no longer fear the depths...we choose it!!! Renee & I [sic]"

In an interview with IANS, Sushmita said that motherhood has stabilised her life. "The wisest decision I made at the age of 24 was to become a mother. It stabilised my life. People think it was a great act of charity and wonderful action but it was self-preservation. It was me protecting myself," she added.
